Livestock Festival Supper canceled, online auction planned. 
Due to uncertainty related to COVID-19 and limitations on mass gatherings, the Livestock Festival Supper will not be held in 2020. An auction of various items will be held at sconlinesales.com on November 20 in place of the Festival Supper, with all proceeds benefitting the Johnston County Youth Livestock program. Anyone interested in bidding will need to set up an account with SC Online Sales. Further details about the auction will be announced as they are available.

NC State University and N.C. A&T State University work in tandem, along with federal, state and local governments, to form a strategic partnership called N.C. Cooperative Extension.

Extension's 4-H program is the largest youth development organization in North Carolina. We help over 247,000 young people grow into active, contributing citizens each year.
